Significó un cambio radical en la composición de la sociedad y en la cosmovisión de los habitantes del Perú. Desde esta época, el virreynato se denominó "Perú", y políticamente se le organizó en intendencias y gobernaciones, siempre a cargo de autoridades peninsulares. back to the top History Flora and Fauna Politics and Economy ...

History of Peru Site Links Home Search this Site History Posters Africa ... Privacy Policy When the Spanish landed in 1531, Peru's territory was the nucleus of the highly developed Inca civilization. Centered at Cuzco, the Inca Empire extended over a vast region from northern Ecuador to central Chile. In search of Inca wealth, the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, who arrived in the territory after the Incas had fought a debilitating civil war, conquered the weakened people. The Spanish had captured the Incan capital at Cuzco by 1533 and consolidated their control by 1542. Gold and silver from the Andes enriched the conquerors, and Peru became the principal source of Spanish wealth and power in South America. Pizarro founded Lima in 1535. The viceroyalty established at Lima in 1542 initially had jurisdiction over all of South America except Portuguese Brazil. By the time of the wars of independence (1820-24), Lima had become the most distinguished and aristocratic colonial capital and the chief Spanish stronghold in America. Peru's independence movement was led by Jose de San Martin of Argentina and Simon Bolivar of Venezuela. San Martin proclaimed Peruvian independence from Spain on July 28, 1821. Emancipation was completed in December 1824, when Gen. Antonio Jose de Sucre defeated the Spanish troops at Ayacucho, ending Spanish rule in South America. Spain made futile attempts to regain its former colonies, but in 1879 it finally recognized Peru's independence.

85. Peruvian Culinary History And Recipes .html Recipes and culinary history of peru created to give you a more indepth crosscultural tour experience. http://www.culturalexpeditions.com/culinary_history.html

Culinary History of Peru Peruvian cuisine is one of the best in South America and it's known not only for its exquisite taste, but also for its variety and ability to incorporate the influence from different times and cultures. The Peruvian cuisine is an important expression of its own culture just as its ceramics, textiles, music and literature. Thanks to Peru's three regions and ocean there are an abundance of markets that can offer a variety of fresh ingredients that satisfy not only the housewife but also the most sophisticated chef. The culinary history of the Peruvian food dates back to the Incas and pre-Incas with its maize, potatoes and spices that later was influenced by the arrival of the Spanish colonies, and throughout the years it incorporated the demands of the different migrations and "mestizajes". Such groups included Chinese, European, African and Japanese immigrants. The Incas... In the Incas Chronicles, Garcilazo Inca de la Vega narrates the foods of the ancient Peruvians and their rituals. Garcilazo describes the Incas meals as being in abundance because it was served not only to the Inca but also to his extended families, guests and large number of servants. The most important meal of the day, not only for the Incas but also for all the ordinary people, was served in the morning between 8 and 9 and the only other meal was served at dusk. It's known that the Inca had a group of chefs assigned to him but the concubines where the ones that cooked for him. It is also known that drinks where never mixed during the meals they where normally taken afterwards.

HOME Machu Picchu Nazca and Paracas Lake Titicaca Peru LAND OF THE INCAS Peru in South America is a fascinating country. Geographically, Peru encompasses an arid coastal desert, the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Andes, and steamy rainforests that form part of the vast Amazon basin. Historically, the region has seen the development of cultures such as the Inca whose legacies remain to mystify travelers and archaeologists to this day. The Inca culture was the last to arise in Peru before the arrival of adventurers and plunderers from overseas... Rise and fall of the Incas In the fifteenth century, the Inca state began to expand under the rule of the emperor Pachacuti. Other cultures were conquered and assimilated to create the most powerful empire in the New World. At its peak the Inca empire stretched for 5500 kilometers from what is now southern Columbia down through Peru to central Chile. Many descendants of the Incas still live in the Peru highlands. The Incas built the staggering citadel of Machu Picchu in a dramatic mountain setting. Machu Picchu survives as the most famous legacy of the fated Inca empire. More pictures...

HOME Land of the Incas Machu Picchu Lake Titicaca Peru NAZCA AND PARACAS Pelicans on the Ballestas Islands, near Paracas. The bleak coast of southern Peru and the apparently barren desert sandwiched between the sea and the Andes mountains hold surprises. The cold ocean is rich with life and the Paracas area is a haven for birds and sea lions. And the desert holds enigmatic remains of pre-Inca cultures whose burial sites lay forgotten under the arid land for centuries before being discovered by archaeologists and grave robbers. Most remarkably, these people left the perplexing Nazca Lines that they drew into the desert surface for reasons we may never know... Lost to the desert The pre-Inca Paracas culture developed along this stretch of the Peru coastal plain in the last centuries BC. It was succeeded by the Nazca culture that flourished until around 600 AD. Gradually, most evidence of the existence of these peoples was lost to the desert. But although their adobe buildings have crumbled, the dry ground has preserved some of their buried mortal remains. Many Paracas and Nazca graves have now been discovered and plundered by grave robbers. Nazca remains lie exposed in the Chauchilla cemetery.

Nazca - History 1000 BCE , the Nazca Valley was inhabited by a people who developed advanced farming methods that allowed them to build an irrigation system, improve their crops, and expand the area of land they could farm. Over the next 1,500 years, they also developed outstanding skills in weaving, pottery, and architecture. The Nazca were wiped out after the Spanish conquest, so that piece of history is quite blank. Perhaps the most fascinating of their cultural achievements was the creation of a remarkable ground art . The Nazca Peru flourished in Peru from about 200 AD to 800 AD before evidence of its existence was lost below the desert sands. Now, large numbers of Nazca graves have been uncovered by both grave robbers and archaeologists. In the fifteenth century, the Inca state expanded from the Cuzco Valley through conquest and assimilation of other cultures. It became the most powerful empire in the New World. But from the time of its expansion the remarkable Inca Empire lasted only around one century before it was destroyed by the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. The lines of Nazca are a variety of geometrical figures, trapezoids, triangles and lines, plus animal and bird figures of hummingbirds, a whale, a monkey, a spider (shown here), a bird likened to a pelican, another like a condor, and one called the astronaut. They range in size up to 1000 ft (300m) across and are about 2000 years old.

Over the years, Guano became the most important resource in Peru's history. In , 50% of the Peruvian government's revenue was going to pay off loans that Peru inherited from guano sales.

Abstract The killing of alleged children sorcerers has been widely reported among the Arawak of eastern Peru. Accusations of child sorcery multiplied at junctures of increased outside pressures marked by violence, displacement, and epidemics. Mythical foundations for this belief are found in the legend of Saint Christopher and the Child Christ. Appropriated through mimetic image in colonial times, the tale of this "plague saint" was transformed into the myth of a cannibalistic giant and his evil infant son. The notion that children could become potent witches was reinforced in postcolonial times by epidemics affecting mostly adults. An example of mimesis gone wrong, the belief in child sorcery is one of those unforeseen and tragic products of the colonial encounter. Kohn, Eduardo.

In nature, silver can be found pure or as part of more or less complex ores. Generally speaking, gold ores are always found in association with the silver. Silver in Peru The Chimús (1200 to 1460 A.D.) had no direct access to gold or silver, but were able to obtain it by trading with highland peoples. They were the most accomplished metalworkers of ancient Peru, mastering a variety of techniques: pouring, refining, laminating, finishing and polishing, including filigree making. Artifacts of different kinds found at archeological sites attest to this. Later, during the Inca Empire, significant advances were made in these techniques.
